Because nobody has ever proven me wrong about an issue thatâs important (definition of important given in a minute.
I donât want to know everything.
I donât think that itâs useful for me to define everything, but I will do worthy.
Therefore, something is worth knowing if it is usefull to me.
No, if someone brings a question to me that is not going to be usefull to me in some way, then I will say that I donât know it. But if they can somehow prove that itâs worth knowing (itâs not useless) then I will have been proven wrong.
See above.
No, I will not close this thread; if you want it to die down, then simply donât post. This has very intertwined philosophical issues, and so I post it here.
If you win the lottery, you will have won a certain amount of money. But why do you need money? What happiness does money bring to you? It only satiates your whims; it does not actually make you happy. True happiness comes from what you consider to be virtues getting followed. If getting money is a virtue for you, then your life will become worse, because only you will get money. For further proof that Iâm right, see the deductive argument below:
P1: Shane is right about everything he says or does.
P2: Shane wrote this.
Cut Shaneytiger some slack, OKComp â heâs only 14 and his parents are going through a divorce. Heâs looking for attention and a place to belong and a place to vent where people will actually listen and be impressed enough not to leave him, not to mention heâs understandably hunting around for some "A"uthorities to bash with his understandably exacerbated oppositional defiance.
I suggest the thread remain open and let it have its therapeutic effect.
And so, ST, if you know everything worth knowing, what role did you have in causing your parentâs divorce?
Oooooh, brilliant psychological analysis, S. I can see the Freud inside you now.
Why donât you respond to me in the Social Sciences board on our discussion about drugs?
I also believe your âwhat role did you have in causing your parentâs divorceâ question is a little harsh. Again, slander: the most used tool in your increasingly small toolbox.
And no, little Ms. S, I donât want to bash some âAâ, I simply relish in getting pushed into place by people who obviously know far more than me. I call it the Colbert tactic.
